I agree with you 100% Serkan. I was trying to make light of the situation. It is very easy to insert the incorrect tone into another persons written words in a forum such as this. I know this because I have been guilty of it myself. Sometimes, I let my own insecurities color my perception of what I am reading. In no way am I suggesting that this has occurred with you. I just know that it is a problem that is fairly common in online communities such as this. I think that we (all participants of this forum) should always try to be a little more forgiving of the words that we read and to try not to "read between the lines" if at all possible. And, we should try to avoid writing abrasive comments as they are not productive in a positive way.
I enjoy reading all of the technical discussions and information on this forum. I think that there are a lot of really smart people sharing their knowledge here and I am grateful that they are willing to share it. But, I also have had thoughts of not visiting because of some of the remarks that "seemed" to be condescending. But, I keep reminding myself that this is only a forum on the internet and it is not worth getting angry because of another person being completely insensitive in their choice of words. Sometimes, the person that is making such statements actually enjoys getting the angry reactions from people.
